Friday, March 13 – Lenten Journey 2020 Day 19 of 40
The week of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) comes to an
end with a focus on the father who endures great pain at knowing his son is
lost, but also knows that his son – like each of us – must create our own
destiny. Jesus uses this parable to illustrate the tremendous and unconditional
love of our heavenly Father which must serve as an example for our love toward
one another. God leaves the door open for us to return to Him. He does not
reprimand, nor does He remind us of past offenses. Instead, he is welcoming.
Can we do the same with those who have hurt us? The Lenten Journey is about
asking “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed
against us.”
